The SALS-24x8x200 is built for live sound engineers and bands who need reliable multi-channel audio routing over long distances. This professional snake cable handles the signal demands of full band performances, church services, and venue installations where the mixing console sits far from the stage.

This 200-foot snake delivers 24 send channels from stage to console, plus 8 return channels back to stage monitors or effects processors. The dual return configuration gives you maximum routing flexibility — each return channel provides both XLR and 1/4" TRS connections at the stage box, with 4 XLR and 4 TRS connections at the fantail end.

Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and 100% individual pair shielding, this snake maintains signal integrity across all channels while rejecting RF interference. The heavy-duty steel stage box includes a carry handle for transport, while both the stage box and color-coded fantail feature clear numerical labeling for quick channel identification during setup.

Perfect for mid-size venues accommodating 200-500 people, outdoor festivals, church installations, or any application where you need professional multi-channel routing over significant distances. The 8-return configuration handles typical monitor sends, effects returns, or stereo playback channels for most live sound applications.

The snake includes everything needed for immediate deployment — just connect your console outputs to the fantail and plug instruments or microphones into the stage box. Heavy-duty strain relief at both ends ensures reliable connections under demanding touring conditions.

Seismic Audio backs this professional snake with a one-year warranty and ships ready to handle your next show.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size venue can this 24-channel snake handle?

This snake works well for mid-size venues accommodating 200-500 people, such as churches, club venues, outdoor festivals, or event spaces. The 24 send channels accommodate a full band setup with multiple microphones, while the 8 returns handle monitor mixes and effects processing typical for venues of this size.

Do I need any additional cables to use this snake?

The snake includes all necessary XLR connections at both ends. You'll need standard XLR cables to connect from your mixing console outputs to the fantail, and XLR or 1/4" cables to connect instruments and microphones to the stage box. The dual return configuration means you can use either XLR or TRS connections depending on your equipment.

How do the return channels work with both XLR and TRS connections?

The stage box features 8 return channels, each with both XLR and 1/4" TRS connections wired in parallel. This means you can use either connector type for each return channel. The fantail end provides 4 XLR returns and 4 TRS returns, giving you flexibility in how you route signals back to stage monitors, powered speakers, or effects processors.

Will this snake work with digital mixing consoles?

Yes, this analog snake works with any mixing console that has XLR outputs, including digital consoles. The snake simply carries analog audio signals between your console and stage, regardless of whether your console processes signals digitally or uses digital connectivity elsewhere in your signal chain.

How does this compare to a 16-channel snake?

The 24-channel configuration provides 50% more input channels than a 16-channel snake, allowing you to mic more instruments individually or add backup vocal mics without running out of channels. The 8 return channels (versus 4 on most 16-channel snakes) give you more monitor mix options or dedicated returns for stereo effects processors and playback sources.
